Biggest fear in the minds of the most developed countries....is `Change`.
I learned, two years ago, that some build up of tension will explode in 2007 via bank closures and rioting over tax....I took it all with a pound of salt.
Something I read in 1985. The prediction that by 2005 humanity will be faced with the stealth tax. This tax may break the banks or break humanity into riots. The answer has always been, not to pay taxes...but to do so en mass may be promoted by the tax collector. The process of stealth tax designed to break emotions in western homes so martial law at home is more justified. Remember how invasive security ID cards and immigration problems were predicted and laughed at 10 years ago...?
Anybody working in London would know that half the power to the city went dry today. As power is shortening to demand. The same day we have a new British Gas price hike of 12%. That means 91% rises in gas prices to the UK sneaked in within the last 3 years alone...thoughts of 3rd world country came to mind.
The same day...today, Petrol giant BP states a cool 80 mil profit a week is now sustainable. Murderous corruption, isn't it ?.
The point I make is more the timing of multiple events expresses how much control exists. With all this activity in Israel, I expect the usual Irish mirror events to follow soon as they usually do.
You can see this multi properganda going on accross the media..... Pushing fuel prises upon people may not though be an exact science...Because they can really push any price at us and we will pay why ?
Because nobody wants the governments to collapse...ask yourself what would you do if corruption was exposed and deal with with the banks, governments, courts etc etc ?
most people are too busy to take back life responsibility or too lazy or too scared.....we agree by participation alone.

Great... another person that doesn't understand supply and demand.
Imagine if you will, that you own a fuel station. You have 1000 gallons worth of fuel. Let us further imagine that you spent 1 Euro per gallon to fill your tank.
To make a profit, you calculate it all out and add the governmental taxes, and charge 2 Euros per gallon. With me thus far?
When your tank is empty, you have recouped your cost of 1000 Euros for the fuel, and can state your profit. Everything is wonderful.
Now, suddenly, you have horrible news!! Your oil supplier is raising oil prices by 100%!!! Now, instead of paying 1000 Euros to fill your tanks, you will have to pay 2000!! So, to ensure you can fill your tanks when it gets empty, you raise your prices to cover the increase in prices. After doing your calculations and increased taxes, you charge 3.5 Euros per gallon.
However, when your tank gets empty, you still have to report your profit... and since you only paid 1000 Euros to fill, and you made 3500 Euros on the sale, you have made an INSANE profit!!! You bastage!!! You evil, inhumane, conspiracy based bastage!!!
When we take this to the next step, however, we find that you aren't the horrible person we thought...
When oil prices level off, we find that you are still making the same kind of profits as when you originally were buying your gas at 1 Euro a gallon. However, you DID make a huge profit when prices went up!!
Now, things settle down in the Middle East and prices come back down.
Suddenly, instead of 2000 Euros to fill your tank, you only have to pay 1000 again. So, to maintain a nominal profit as before, you lower prices back to 2 Euros a gallon.
Going back to report your finances, we find that you suffered a LOSS! Actually, a pretty substantial loss!!
However, this is business, and in the grand scheme of things, it was a wash - and you ended up making a nominal profit all along.
Welcome to the concept of marginal costs and long term finances.
